Almost two years on from his incredibly well-received debut album and
Etherwood is back with the highly anticipated, “Blue Leaves” LP, a body of
work showcasing the sheer talent of one of the UK’s most exciting artists
in electronic music. Within this fourteen-track LP, Etherwood has not only
displayed his perfected production skills but also outshone more than ever
before with his own vocal performances and instrumental prowess.

Captivating listeners with his creativity, Etherwood explores the finer
soundscapes of drum & bass, relaying the liquid beauty that his continually
growing following have come to love him for. Included are the already
popular 2015 releases, “You’ll Always Be a Part of Me”, “Souvenirs”
featuring Zara Kershaw and most recent single, “Light My Way Home”
featuring Eva Lazarus, premiered by BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac. Within
fourteen tracks, not one is undeserving of its place on what is a truly
outstanding album.

Enriched with sublime symphonic sounds, “For A Time I Was You” and “Cast
Away” drift through epic elevations and enrapturing orchestral outbreaks
that will undoubtedly stop all in their tracks. Powerful string sections,
moving piano-led melodies and rolling percussions exude elegance, staying
true to Etherwood’s signature sound.

The heart of “Blue Leaves” lies within “Revive”, rich with raw emotion and
Eva Lazarus’ unforgettable vocal hooks – a musical match made in heaven
between Etherwood and longstanding Hospital Records signee, Logistics. The
album’s soul is sparked with a S.P.Y collaboration in “We’re Nothing
Without Love”, a testament to Etherwood’s growth as an impressive
singer/songwriter.

Similarly, “Caption”, “Breathe It In” and “Sunlight Splinters” highlight
his completed skill set, with crisp percussions and soft waves of bass
bound by his own powerful vocal performance. Finally, the breath-taking
finale of “The Last Hour” draws a quaint close to the Etherwood 2.0
experience.

Since signing to Med School, Etherwood has risen from a humble underground
following to gaining support from some of the world’s most respected DJs
and broadcasters with his most recent releases receiving regular airwave
play on BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra, Kiss FM, Capital Radio and Rinse FM. The “Blue
Leaves” LP is sure to set Etherwood on the same promising path showcasing
his ever-growing repertoire of electronic masterpieces for one of the most
inspiring drum & bass albums of the year.
